Ledley King on Tottenham vs Liverpool

“Especially on a Wembley pitch, it adds a little bit of something different. We're not used to seeing these teams play [against each other] at Wembley, so I think it's going to be a very exciting game.

“Both like to play football the right way, both try to build up from the back.

“Both teams are very good at pressing and playing at a high tempo, so it's whichever team is able to adopt their style on the game that will be the winners.

“It's a difficult game to call. These two managers both want to play an attacking style of football so I think it's going to be an entertaining game.

“There will be lots of top players on show, but I just feel that Tottenham, going into this game on the back of a great performance at Real Madrid, will edge it 2-1.”

Despite tipping Tottenham to win at Wembley, King has told his former club to be wary of Liverpool’s attacking stars.

He added: “I liked to play against the best players and Liverpool have some of the best attacking players not just in the league, but in Europe, so I'd enjoy the challenge.

“There's no doubt that on their day, when Liverpool are firing, they can cause any team all sorts of problems, so it's a game that all the defenders will have to be on their toes for to keep the Liverpool players quiet.”
